MOTORCYCLE RENTAL & TOUR AGREEMENT

This agreement limits our liability and requires you to assume risk. By booking or accepting a motorcycle, you confirm you've read and agreed to everything below. If you disagree with any term, do not book.

1. YOU MUST QUALIFY TO RIDE

To rent or join a tour, you must:

Hold a valid motorcycle license from your home country
Be 21 or older
Have at least 1 year of recent experience on similar motorcycles
Carry a valid passport or government-issued ID
Be physically and mentally fit to ride
Not be under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or impairing medication
Wear approved safety gear, including a helmet, at all times

You are solely responsible for all traffic fines, violations, and legal consequences from your riding. We reserve the right to refuse or end your rental at any time if we believe you are unsafe — no refund will be issued.

2. BOOKING & PAYMENT

50% deposit reserves your bike. Balance due before you ride.
Payment via PayPal (credit card). No cash accepted.

3. CANCELLATIONS & REFUNDS

When you cancel 31+ days before start - No refund

30 days or fewer - No refund

After rental starts - No refund

No exceptions for illness, flight issues, or personal circumstances. No refunds for early return or unused days.

4. RELEASE OF LIABILITY

To the fullest extent permitted by Colombian law, you release Colombia Moto Adventures and all its owners, guides, employees, and contractors from any and all claims arising from your participation, including personal injury, death, property loss, mechanical failure, road conditions, weather, or acts of third parties — including claims arising from our own negligence.

You also agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, or legal costs arising from your actions, your violation of this agreement, or injury or damage you cause to others.

You acknowledge you had the opportunity to seek independent legal advice before agreeing to these terms.

5. YOU ACCEPT THE RISKS

Motorcycle travel in Colombia involves real and significant risks that cannot be eliminated, including:

Rough, unpaved, and variable road surfaces
Rain, flooding, fog, and extreme weather
Remote areas with no cell coverage or emergency services
Altitude, fatigue, wildlife, and other road hazards
Mechanical breakdown or failure
Delayed or unavailable rescue or medical assistance

By participating, you voluntarily accept all known and unknown risks, including those arising from our negligence, to the fullest extent permitted by Colombian law.

6. OUR LIABILITY IS LIMITED

We are not responsible for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages — ever. This includes missed flights, missed hotels, extra transportation or lodging costs, lost income, or any expense beyond the rental itself.

Our maximum liability to you, for any reason, is the total amount you paid us. No additional claims can be made.

7. YOU MUST ACT QUICKLY ON CLAIMS

Any claim must be submitted to us in writing within 30 days of the incident. Legal proceedings must be filed within 1 year. Claims outside these windows are permanently waived.

8. INSURANCE

The only insurance provided by Colombia Moto Adventures is SOAT — the mandatory Colombian traffic insurance required by law. No additional insurance of any kind is included with your rental or tour.

SOAT provides basic emergency medical coverage for traffic accidents only, subject to its own limits and exclusions. It does not cover motorcycle damage or third-party property claims.

You are fully responsible for all third-party claims, fines, towing, recovery, impound fees, and legal costs. We strongly recommend purchasing comprehensive travel insurance and medical evacuation coverage before your trip.

9. MOTORCYCLE CONDITION

Your bike is provided clean, safe, and documented with photos. You must inspect it thoroughly at pickup and note any existing damage on the condition report. Once you leave, any undocumented damage is your responsibility — no exceptions.

10. NO ELECTRONIC RIDER AIDS

Our motorcycles have no ABS, traction control, or electronic stability systems. You confirm you are experienced and comfortable riding without these aids and will ride within your skill level.

11. BREAKDOWNS & REPAIRS

We'll make reasonable efforts to help if your bike breaks down. We do not guarantee immediate assistance, on-site repairs, or a replacement motorcycle — especially in remote areas. If we cover repair costs for the bike itself, we are not responsible for any resulting expenses on your end (accommodation, transport, lost time, etc.).

12. FORCE MAJEURE

We are not liable for delays, route changes, or trip interruptions caused by events beyond our control — including weather, landslides, road closures, protests, or government actions. No refunds or compensation are owed for these events.

13. THIRD-PARTY SERVICES

Hotels, transportation, and other providers we arrange are independent operators. We are not responsible for their availability, quality, or actions.

14. YOUR PROPERTY

We are not responsible for loss of or damage to your personal belongings. Luggage boxes are not waterproof or dust-proof. Protect your gear accordingly.

15. ALCOHOL & DRUGS

Riding under the influence immediately voids all insurance and makes you fully liable for all damages and costs, without limit.

16. ROUTES & ACCOMMODATIONS

Routes, schedules, and accommodations may change due to conditions on the ground. We make real-time safety decisions. Website descriptions are representative, not guaranteed. Changes are a normal part of adventure travel and do not entitle you to a refund.

17. FUEL & MAINTENANCE

Return the bike with a full tank, in the condition you received it. On multi-day trips, basic maintenance (chain, tire pressure, general checks) every 3–5 days is your responsibility. Preventable damage from neglected maintenance may be charged to you.

18. SELF-GUIDED TOURS

You navigate and manage your own pace independently. We don't guide or escort you. You must be capable of handling basic roadside issues including flat tires.

19. GUIDED TOURS

Guided tours are not riding lessons. You must be capable before you arrive. Guides don't supervise individual riding decisions and are not responsible for your errors or accidents. If your riding creates a safety risk, we may end your participation — no refund.

20. GOVERNING LAW

This agreement is governed by Colombian law. All disputes are resolved exclusively in the courts of Medellín, Colombia. You waive the right to bring claims anywhere else.

21. FULL AGREEMENT

This is the entire agreement between us. No verbal promises or prior communications apply. Any modification must be in writing, signed by Colombia Moto Adventures.

BY BOOKING OR ACCEPTING THE MOTORCYCLE, YOU CONFIRM:

You've read this agreement, understood it, had the opportunity to seek legal advice, and voluntarily agree to all terms — including the release of liability, assumption of risk, and limitation of damages.
